Triple Frontier: Kathryn Bigelow to direct the action-adventure

Kathryn Bigelow has signed on to direct Triple Frontier, an action adventure that Paramount Pictures is developing. Mark Boal (also from the "The Hurt Locker") will write the screenplay.

"Triple Frontier" is described as a high-stakes ensemble project. Boal and Bigelow, who will both exec produce, sold the original idea together; the logline is being kept under wraps.

Boal's writing the script, set in the notorious border zone between Paraguay, Argentina and Brazil where the Igazu and Parana rivers converge -- making "la triple frontera" difficult to monitor and a haven for organized crime.
